| 520 | _a"Really So Stories" by Elizabeth Gordon is a collection of children's stories likely written in the early 20th century. The book features a boy named Billy who seeks knowledge about the origins of various customs, holidays, and historical facts. Each tale is designed to be both entertaining and educational, blending storytelling with factual information. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Billy, who prefers to hear real stories rather than fictional ones. He is curious about how the New Year is determined and how traditions began, leading to a magical encounter with the embodiment of the New Year. This conversation reveals the history of calendar systems and customs surrounding New Year celebrations across different cultures, setting the tone for the ensuing stories that Billy shares with his companion, Somebody. The stories promise to offer children insights into the meanings behind holidays and various significant events in a way that sparks curiosity and understanding.
